SoccerCore11 Posted December 30, 2004 Share Posted December 30, 2004 Took me a bit to figure this out but here is how to make Limewire install silently.1. Run the setup that you can download from www.limewire.com untill you come to the part where it downloads the msi from the internet. After the msi download is complete, cancel the install.2. Go to C:\WINDOWS\Downloaded Installations and into the limewire folder where 0x0409.ini and LimeWire.msi are and copy the setup.exe from step one into this folder.3. As this is an InstallShield installer, run the exe file with the switch /R (I believe it is caps sensitive) and complete the install with the options that you want. Your answers will be saved in the setup.iss file in C:\Windows. After the install is complete, copy setup.iss from your window folder into the folder also.4. Using WinRAR or equivilent, make an SFX with 3 files: the msi, the exe, and the iss. Tell it to run setup.exe /s after the extraction.5. Test out your new exe! Copy it onto your XP CD, it does not need any switches to run, as it will run silently with all the answers saved in the iss file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkdt Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Nice, except the damnable "Start LimeWire on System Startup" continues to appear. I think the boys and girls at LimeWire simply messed up the package, looks like a job for AutoIt. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 @blinkdtThere is a way to use an the msi limewire creates to silently install this. It requires editing the MSI though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blinkdt Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 Roger that, per other threads on this subject. But poop on that, it's easy enough with AutoIt as there is only one dialogue box to contend with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1chaoticadult Posted January 7, 2005 Share Posted January 7, 2005 That's true. I like AutoIt anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
